Cara Delevingne opens up about relationship with girlfriend Ashley Benson

Cara Delevingne has said that her girlfriend Ashley Benson helped her overcome her deep-rooted trust issues.

The 27-year-old model turned Hollywood star has been dating US actress Ashley Benson, 29, for more than a year after they met on the set of 2018 movie Her Smell.

Delevingne said the Pretty Little Liars star had taught her to value herself after a series of bad relationships with men.

She told Net-A-Porter’s digital magazine PorterEdit: “I’d never truly let anyone in before, for fear of them leaving. I never really trusted people, or felt worthy of it, and I always pushed them away.

“She’s the first person that has said: ‘You can’t push me away. I’m going to be nice to you, I love you.

“I’m just like, wait, so all I have to do is just let you be nice to me? Why have I never done that before?”

The pair have so far remained private about their romance, although they hit the headlines in July when they were photographed carrying a leather “sex bench” into their home.
